You should have used Ka Mate (smile)! I heard “tea roa” several times but even though I was listening for it, somehow I didn’t catch an “ao” before it.

The overall syllable structure and vowel system sound either African or Polynesian. With the “faka-” I heard (a common prefix) I was convinced this was a Polynesian Language and couldn’t be Hawai’ian because of the [f] sound (and the [t], neither of which occurs in Hawai’ian), and with the [r] sounds and no [l] sounds, I feel sure this is likely Māori and not Samoan, Tahitian or one of the other better known Polynesian languages. On which case, the “faka-” should be spelt “whaka-” instead. As for the “tea” and “roa”, people familiar with Hawai’i will recognise common Polynesian vocabulary in the mountain names Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea (White Mountain and Long Mountain), with three of the sound shifts that happened in Hawai’ian. (Mauna is the Hawai’ian version of what is pronounced maunga in Māori and other languages, e.g. Maunga Teatea on one of the easternmost islands (Easter Island?).
